I just want to quit my day job and work in gaming, as an ideas man.

Mike Kennedy

He is a very good salesman and he can definitely get you amped up for all kinds of things.

Steve Sawyer

They are LYING to you. Do not fall for it. It is all a bunch of lies and manipulation.

Mike Kennedy

I want to thank my Retro Gaming Roundup Co-Hosts, UKMike and Scott. There are no two other people I would want to share an Atari 2600 game with!

Mike Kennedy

Dude, you’re still going to have a stake, this is still our thing. It’s just going to be better.

Mike Kennedy

You gave it to one of the most mistrusted names in this industry, and along every step of the way you tried to make me like it.

Steve Sawyer

If your involvement with the Podcast causes a problem for yourself or your company, then you have a decision to make, and I think we all know which way you would go.

Mike James

I've never known an entrepreneur that put in so little time and resources.

Mark Kaminski

OMG do you need some ADHD medicine or are you puffin on a meth pipe over there?

Mark Kaminski

When it comes to creative design some people see things and ask ‘why?’ I dream things that never were; and say ‘why not?’

Sean Robinson

I am "still" enjoying reading everyone's comments and criticism. We are really trying to be transparent about this entire process.

Mike Kennedy

This whole thing is beginning to seem like someone is having a manic episode and documenting it online...along with some 3D renders.

In the end, you know, behind the scenes, Indiegogo had been courting us for the last few months.

Mike Kennedy

I started a new company for the console as I don't have any stock available on the GG/Magazine side to give Steve or any other hardware person meat in the game so I had no choice.

Mike Kennedy

That’s not how business works. It might be how the government works, when we ran out of money, we printed more, but the IRS gets to do that and the Treasury Department, not us.
We go to jail for that stuff.

Scott Schreiber

We are just three legitimate guys who want to bring a cool product to market. It's as simple as that.

Mike Kennedy

Well, there is no working prototype because we can’t afford to bring a working prototype to market.

Mike Kennedy

The facts are you cannot, nobody can make an FPGA system any cheaper than we can.

Mike Kennedy

It’s fascinating too because it feels like there are some people who just want to see this thing fail.

John Lester

First off, developers will be instructed to give us bug free games.

Mike Kennedy

I know, we are not going there, but we are being compared to that (Ouya) so I wanted to quickly say, go watch their video. No prototype, it was smoke and mirrors.

Mike Kennedy

We are very appreciative that there are seventy-five pages of discussions over on AtariAge about this, even if they are terrible and dragging me through the mud.

Mike Kennedy

Mike seems to share information freely (even too freely) when it appears to be in his interest. As I had mentioned, I learned that I couldn’t trust Mike to keep anything secret.

John Carlsen

If you want to play a SNES game, buy a used SNES. If you want to play a 2600 game, buy a used 2600.

John Carlsen

Did a lot of things right up until we did everything wrong. Live and learn.

Mike Kennedy

That "COLECO is Back" title was added at the last minute by our PR firm. And I guess we can all debate what "Back" means.

Mike Kennedy

Once the prototype is complete we will reveal what's inside. It shouldn't be too much longer.

Mike Kennedy

First off, this post isn't pointing fingers at anyone in this community whatsoever, but will single out one Carl Williams.

Mike Kennedy

[…] with my technical expertise services I strive to prevent and solve any technology crisis.

Sean Robinson

You know, Brian, we had a really, really great showing at the Toy Fair, and all of these people want to get a piece of it.

Mike Kennedy

You know what Mike, I am a professional, dude.

Brian Barnhart

The train wreck is occurring. The train has gone off the side of the bridge, is plummeting towards the bottom of the canyon. Meanwhile, the engineer is still tugging on the whistle and the fireman is still shoveling coal into the thing. This is insane.

Scott Schreiber

We’re delaying the Kickstarter for the Coleco Chameleon to make it even better!

Mike Kennedy

The only conclusion from that resume review would be to write a cheque to SoCal to buy the molds from him and release him of his duties.

Mike James

I think the only thing that could ever be put in those shells from this point on is evil spirits.

Scott Schreiber

As for GameGavel/RETRO it's still growing. And one of my minority owners has been doing his best to crater the company.

Mike Kennedy

We are running his games through our custom written SNES FPGA Core. He said they are playing flawlessly.

Mike Kennedy

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times, #### you forever!

Pat Contri

This is what we can do when given the proper time.

Sean Robinson

Not sure what you'd expect to get done in a week except maybe some kind of mock-up?

Clay Cowgill

You're not gonna get your reputation back Mike, do something else not in the hobby. I don't care what it is. I don't care if you whittle wood sticks on the porch. Please stay out of the retro gaming hobby.

Pat Contri

When Mike has something good, you basically have to staple his mouth shut to get him to not talk about it.

Steve Sawyer

They want the success and the profits but none of the risk but I guess they're not alone in that. I just choose not to support that notion.

Mike James

And please, don’t let this mess carry over to the magazine. I have a great team of people working on it. We are pouring a lot of heart and soul and sweat equity into keeping the magazine going and it’s only getting better.

Mike Kennedy

I think it takes a passionate person like myself to run a website like GameGavel, as that gives confidence to its members.

Mike Kennedy

I know I kicked over the ant hill but my reputation was more important than fooling the community over a fake product, I don’t lose any sleep over what I did.

Brian Barnhart

New management of a dumpster fire is just that, a new guy standing next to a burning trash heap.

Scott Schreiber

I really miss the gaming friends I had prior to that mess. Had some of my best times with them -- they all know who they are.

Mike Kennedy

Scott is the man who always has an answer, ask him whatever you like and he will start talking, but the only question I have ever asked Scott that took a minute before he said anything was ‘Is SoCalMike actually mentally ill?’

In any event, I’ll take what I can get but don’t expect anything when it comes to being completely forgiven for what I put everyone through the past few years.
